to bring people like ted kennedy across. not just ted kennedy but everybody. i use ted kennedy because i know how liberal he was and what a partisan he was as well. i could get him to come across and not be as partisan. i know he loved me. i know he cared. and i cared for him, i really did. we would get into awful fights. we would be yelling and screaming at each other. maybe not yelling, but certainly arguing with each other. he did not want to do that with me anymore. i was with him when he had the stroke here in the senate and i went to the car with him and he knew that i loved him and cared for him. host: you wrote a song about him. sen. hatch: oh, yeah. vicki was the greatest catch of his life. teddy lacked a lot of things, but he was the leading democrat in the united states senate. he was a rollicking, fun-loving, interesting, but sometimes very partisan, mean guy. i got a kick out of all that. coming from pittsburgh where i had to face all kinds of obstacles and difficulties, hatred, it was not hard for me. gradually we just grew to where we cared for

we miss him. >> ted began life as the youngest child of joseph and rose kennedy. dynasty with over 100 family members. the matriarch, ted's mother rose, died in 1985 at the age of 104. >> rose kennedy does not get her due. her ability to infuse the exact right combination of competition and compassion, there's no precedent in a democratic society for what she created. this royal family. >> some people enjoy a life that's normal and mead ocher. other people respond to challenges, adventure and entertainment. that's who we are. >> rose lived long enough to see generation after generation of kennedys serve their country. >> today all you young athletes are in the arena. >> jeanne was an incredible ambassador who helped to bring peace to northern ireland. >> jack and jackie's daughter carolyn became a u.s. ambassador to japan. >> i'm proud to carry forward my father's legacy of service. you have joseph kennedy ii, bobby and ethel's oldest son who served a number of terms in congress and cathy was a lieutenant governor of maryland. christopher kennedy, son of robert ke

now ted kennedy as a senator actually knows what he's doing. >> as ted charts his own political courses the family. >> misfortune strikes the kennedy family once again. senator edward m. kennedy was seriously injured when his private plane crashed in the woods near southampton, massachusetts. >> two die in the crash. ted kennedy is dragged from the wreckage with a broken back. >> in any other family to have one of the primary members in an airplane crash that almost kills them and gives him permanent back problems would be at the top of the list of tragedies. but in the kennedys it's just another check off on the list. >> two months later a traumatized bobby addresses the democratic national convention as it honors jack's memory. >> and now it is my privilege and honor to introduce the man who stood closer to him than anyone else. his brother robert kennedy. >> and the place just breaks into this just heartfelt cathartic applause. and he stands there, and this goes on for five minutes and ten minutes, and it overwhelms him. >> i was in hyannisport. i was by myself. and i watched that 1

ted kennedy was tough on the bored.o was chuck schumer, elizabeth warren, bill clinton, harry reid. trish regan spoke to the president about the caravan. >> this caravan was organized by leftist groups in honduras, financed in part by venezuela. this all according to the president of the honduras. but they were sent north for the sole and exclusive reason of challenging the laws of the united states of america by coming into our country illegally. the president made it clear we are not going to let them get away with it. >> he said venezuela rather than some of the big money donors. but the bottom line is we spent two years talking about russia meddling in our elections. why aren't we concerned about a caravan meddling in our election? lord knows, the people that are upset about this, they are not look for no immigration, they are look for sensible immigration. liz: democrats are shouting this is fear mongering. even though trump is asking for the same exact things democrats asked for five years ago, end chain migration

ted kennedy was trying to help. by the way, i was alive when ted kennedy primaried jimmy carter.record. i think there needs to be an ambassador amongst the democrats. who could it possibly be who could say i will go. i will go to the white house and try to work it out. i don't think it's somebody in congress. i think the governor. i would say that governor-elect gavin newsom has the credibility in the bank to be able to take it and say i bring these house democrats with me. there's hardly any republicans left in california and say mr. president, where here and we will negotiate with you and try to get it done. that way you can solve a problem and -- >> kennedy: to your point, it's a really good idea because i think actually right now the young relationship they've got, they have a good rapport. he's from a border state. could you do something like that just with california and see. okay. see how something like that works on then is it something you can apply to something larger. >> dana: all right, gavin gavin, call me. >> geraldo: are you a come margin on the issue? >> greg: i'm

joseph kennedy, ted kennedy, jackie kennedy, some of kennedy's entourage, ted sorensen, arthur/are, arthur goldberg who became labor secretary and labor supreme court judge. on the eisenhower side, eisenhower, his brother milton, mainly, a cultural figure, eisenhower's cabinet is not well known now but pretty interesting people. the senators. illinois had two important senators who were part of this mix, paul douglas, people like george mcgovern who was a congressman and william fulbright. and amazing cast of characters. as i was reading one account, a vivid account of washington on the eve of the inaugural about the trains pulling into town written by a fairly junior reporter, david alverson who has 6 or 7 major books out there. the washington post had a young beat reporter outside kennedy's house in georgetown, and his name was tom wolfe and he has 6 or 7 major books out there. these, the cast of characters is quite remarkable. kennedy and eisenhower are interesting in their own right but particularly interesting as opposites of each other. they are wildly different personalities. eisenh

-- i will always say that ted kennedy and chuck schumer voted for the tax cuts.t see those debates happening on facebook or google's social media. what is going on with these algorithms basically censoring conservative debate? it is ruining this democracy, that's what the polls are showing. >> liz, i couldn't agree with you more. i'm a die jr. hard democrat, that's why i come on this show, i really love where you give a voice to both sides. i think that's where the majority of americans are, and it really should give us pause if there is that kind of censorship going which is why i support bipartisan efforts. you mentioned senator klobuchar and senator kennedy from louisiana that are pushing forward with that very thing in the united states senate. elizabeth: this story is not going to go way. kevin and ford, we're going to have you back on. thank you very much for your insight tonight. good to see you. >>> now to the border and the latest on the caravan. jeff paul is there reporting live on the ground in tijuana, mexico. jeff? >> reporter: yeah, elizabeth, a pre

- the race in '94 was basically me saying, "look, ted kennedy may be a great guy, "and hhas a big heart"but he's taking america in the wrong direction, and his policies are trapping people in poverty." if you believe that the promise and the bright future that our children deserve can be achieved, i'd be honored to receive your support. that was a very, very long shot. - cnn tonight clares incumbent edward kennedy the winner. - it's not likely that a msamon millionaire in musetts is gonna beat ted kennedy, bubody's got to stand up and give him a run for his money. ♪ ki - i met romney w in salt lake city at the winter games. she had come out e the day, so to speak, because the winter games of 2002 were mired in controversy and scandal, and mitty was brought in to turn the games around. - they hadet $300 million bueficit. you know, sponsors were fleeing, and so he p with a plan, and then he got everyone on side marching to the same drum. - since he took over, he has demonstrated remarkable leadership. - as a community, they pulled off a fantastic olympics with $10million surplus.

and then i was on capitol hill in ted kennedy's office about to brief his senate committee on early childhood education when we got the word that the planes had flown into the world trade center. we thought when we heard the news, it was an accident. when we heard the second one, we knew, it was not an accident. of course, everything changed for me. the things i expected to work on, i worked on, but i added other things like supporting afghan woman and the military. those were things i never expected to work on. i made a sixth-grade report on afghanistan. [laughter] i never expected to go to afghanistan. cokie roberts: i had to do afghanistan, but that is because my name was boggs. [laughter] cokie roberts: we got to pick the countries. you then took it on. i should say, mrs. bush and senator kennedy worked together almost all day as you were trying to figure out what was going on. senator kennedy later said you get to know somebody in a situation like that. he said she was steady, assured, and elegant. cokie roberts: -- mrs. bush: how sweet. he kept up a steady stream of smalltalk. he read m

those things had happened and i was on capitol hill in senator ted kennedy's office, about two brief his senate committee on early childhood education when we got the word that the planes had flown into the world trade center. thought it was some odd accident and then when we heard the second one we knew it was not an accident. so, then of course everything changed for me. the things i had expected to work on, i still did work on, there were things i never expected to work on, like supporting afghan women. i had done a six great report on afghanistan but i never thought i would go. ,> that surprises me, your name i had to pick from last name. [laughter] it on.n you really took first of all, i should say, by the way, that this is bush and senator kennedy were together you werech all day as trying to figure out what was going on. and senator kennedy later said that you get to know somebody in a situation like that and he said that she was steady, assured, and elegant. >> that was sweet. but he kept up a steady stream of smalltalk. he showed me everything on his office walls. he read me

hemisphere, and mexico, and all of those things had happened and i was on capitol hill in senator ted kennedy's office about to brief his senate committee on early childhood education when we got the word that the planes had flown into the world trade center and we thought, of course, when we heard the first one that it was some odd accidents and then we we heard the second one, we knew it was not an accident. so, then, of course, everything changed for me. and the things i'd expected to work on, i still did work on, but then i added other things, like supporting afghan women, and our military, things that i've never expected really to work on. i'd made a sixth grade report on afghanistan, and i never expected to actually go to afghanistan. but i-- >> that surprises me because your name was welch. i had to do afghanistan because my name was boggs. >> i did afghanistan myself, we got to pick the country. >> and then you took it off-- well, first of all, i should say, by the way, that mrs. bush and senator kennedy were together, pretty much all day as were you trying to figure out what was going

just because you know he is such a mystic but then usually the response is yeah but there was also ted kennedy or bill clinton or people of this type that my suspicion is that but that kind of to me to movement changing any about those who are that was my one goal suspicion is not i mean in some ways i think cavanaugh. hearings actually provide kind of a good divide of where we would see some of these divisions so with me to movement the idea would be looking at kavanagh as an example of of someone speaking from within a credible accusation in terms of what he had done this would be support would be mobilizing. but for many of these other women what they're looking at this is they're saying this is being used for political purposes so they look at the the session and they at the hearings and they say to themselves it's more like a struggle session than a hearing in many ways while looking and saying there's all this attention here versus say someone like. ellison or and then some other individuals with accusations about sexual improprieties with women that the me too movement doesn't seem terr

to ted kennedy and does humans and when they don't work if a war goes on too long it's no longer an instrument of politics but acts according to its own logic was enough so i know i can and dog to it essentially became a military war against hazardous media and of course peasants also try to find ways to fight off soldiers and we could just be some armed themselves and defeated and killed smaller groups of soldiers which led to reprisals obliged to and so on. so far they've gotten so vital and so vital. you must be patient that is really not very my father's interest he has been making decisions since the queen was able to thank you for your father's wife start small but that doesn't give him the right to undermine her will the queen is young but their decisions are well considered unreasonable for newt he makes nobody makes me wait i'm going up like always. if you afoul of us the problem was that some of us had a lot of experience while books and i was more of a diplomatic novice so the two repeatedly clashed that means the swedish delegation was divided along both personal and political mind

the people -- we used to have ted kennedy and different people that had been there and had national stature or stature in their area, for whatever reason it comes to people who get institutional -- media. >> or on tv. >> i don't do a lot of that. i only came for you. >> all right. right now we are going to go and take a look at the weather. right now it's more like a health report. >> that is true. >> we are looking at unhealthy air quality once again. this is the 11th straight day. look outside. this is the view from san jose. temperatures outside are chilly , in the 20s right now. a little bit warmer in oakland and san jose. really, there's not a lot of improvement. this is the forecast for the next 36 hours. we go from very unhealthy to just unhealthy. indoor. we have been saying this for over a week. the air-quality forecast is in the unhealthy range. it is day. we will decrease in the -- visibility due to fog moving in of visibility so be careful. smoky air continues through tuesday. we get a little bit of relief midweek. the fire is still burning and it is trapping the smoke into the

if you say he's doing what schumer and ted kennedy wanted in cutting taxes, their liberal jaws drop. if you say donald trump is about border security like hillary clinton, gee -- joe biden and obama were. their jaws drop. >> it's a double standard when it comes to the policies you just mentioned. how they were on the same page at one point. now it's a divided country. it's sad to see. somewhat's causing that division? >> the division is coming from the left pushing for the removal of president trump from the office. they are in resist mode in anything he says or doing. you have people on the left who are saying for their followers to get in the faces of trump cabinet members and trump supporters. this divisiveness we are seeing in our country is escalating, which is a dangerous path for us to be on. people are going to start taking matters into their own hands. we have seen a number of trump supporters over the years who have been harassed, who have been threatened, who have been attacked. you can see a lot of these issues on breitbart.com. they have a running list of these people wh

kennedy: ted williams. oming up, ohio democratic congressman tim ryan joins me to talk about the looming speakership. going to be very interesting. . kennedy: it's like halloween all over again, but with way less candy. our lights are flickering, it's live tv. talk amongst yourself. no don't. if nancy pelosi is the speaker apparent, she's already doing a piss poor job of wrangling her fractured caucus, not only are there two dozen naysayers from radically different camps, they are on record bashing her lowness and you have excited loud mouths promising everything from subpoenas to impeachment. directly contradicting her majesty's moderation edict, fancy nancy leading her party since 2003 and one could argue not very well as a legislative shepard she has used her staff as prod and speculum to force through such turkeys as obamacare, dodd-frank and the stimuli and lord only knows what monstrosity she could knit together with another wack as tweeker of the house. pelosi is an elitist statist and virtue is abili

ted kennedy's son, ted kennedy jr., now a state senator in connecticut.massachusetts congressman with a bright future of his own. and jfk's name sake, a yale grad, who hasn't ruled out following in his grandfather's footsteps. >> my favorite speech is the speech at rice university, explaining why we should go to the moon. >> we choose to go to the moon and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. >> in that speech, he said, great challenges are great opportunities. i think that's an important thing to remember that we can rise to the occasion if we choose good leadership. >> reporter: 55 years after one of america's dark est days, jfks legacy still burns bright. >> it gives you a sense that this is a family we'll be talking about for years ahead. hard to fathom, it's been 55 years, since the images that mesmerized the country. >> 55 years, people are captivated by it. and it's so true. we're rooting for some of them, too, the new ones. >> a lot of questions unanswered. >>> next , a new warning, how >>> next , a new warnin

in 1980 president jimmy carter was dogged by a challenge from senator ted kennedy. t lost to ronald reagan that november. gerald ford faced a tough primary challenge, and eventually lost to carter. president johnson was weakened by the candidacy of eugene mccarthy, and dropped out of the race. we're back with heidi, jonathan, donna and john. let's talk about the president and his own party, how does he stand? is this all over, no matter what happens, is trump the nominee of the republican party, if he chooses to be so? >> if he's on the ballot and he runs, he's going to be the nominee of the republican party. if you've seen a narrowing of the republican party, but they're very excited about him to the joint john was making earlier. 90% of republicans are with donald trump. that's not going to change. he's got them. nobody's going to pull that away from him. the danger to him is an independent candidacy that is aimed as a kamikaze mission to keep him from staying president. >> what is the sticky glue that keeps him popular? >> it's conservative republicans that matter

the guests were ted kennedy who i shared the dressing room with. >> stephen: also hilarious. ( laughter verden, roy clark, me and shamu the killer whale live from san diego. so howard is talking to the the producers, one of which is alan king, and the producer is yelling, let me get this straight, am i talking to the kid who feeds him the herring? who the hell am i you canta -- who the hell am i talking to? i can't talk to a whale! >> stephen: we're in the after math of the midterms right now. how are you feeling? >> well, we got the house -- which is great. ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) >> stephen: it is. it is. and we need everyone to work together because the approval rating is 11, is zika virus is 20. so we've got some work to do. >> stephen: yeah, mm-hmm. i'm so glad that part is over now, of course, seconds later something new happens with this guy. i'm glad i'm not watching the rallies to watch agent orange go nuts. ( cheers and applause ) and what would happen was i get into my car and i turn on the radio and i come in mid sentence and i hear this all the time, trump ri

an alienated the ted kennedy wing of the party. jackson wing of the party.nald trump does a dramatic tweet, or loses a senator or two, lindsey graham -- who had suddenly become the best friend of donald trump is now criticizing trump very harshly. on the situation with khashoggi's murder in turkey. the point is, you do not want to have too many fights within your own party. he humiliated paul ryan. yes, he was on the way out. -- who had suddenly become the best friend of donald yes, -- but even republicans that lost, he mocked them, saying you are not trumpian enough. mitt romney may play a big role as the leader of a gang of six or seven senators but are going to have enough of donald trump. they will have enough of them because the mueller reports probably will be devastating. they will have enough of him that he already has a 60% disapproval rating what if it becomes 65% or 70% disapproval? it is impossible to govern. the republican party may turn to flake, kasich kind of person and reclaim the older brand of the republican party. it might become the new

thats one of the things was a difference between carter and ted kennedy which would later be a biggerroblem. carter's approach set the democratic party on a path that is still tries to follow. in trying to pick judges, we are not going to just pick white males. we will think about what other qualified people are out there and people we can put on the bench and they can become judges and important officials and government. carter was a trail blazer in that regard. brian: what impact do you have hehis presidency that granted amnesty to draft dodgers from vietnam? mr. gerhardt: that hurt his presidency. carter was trying to think how to heal the country. had we bring people together that have been divided? the people who had left the country and dodged and avoid the draft because they did not like or believe in the vietnam war, they were viewed by some americans as unpatriotic and bad. carter look at it differently. he wanted to find a way to bring the people back, to heal the divisions. the pardon from his perspective made sense. but it also signaled to people on the other side, the rep

ted. >> yeah, kennedy. i'm sad to be back under these circumstances, and i got to tell you, my heart is very heavy. you know i've been here at fox for over 20 years, and worked with adam housley, and now to find out that adam housley's niese is one of the victims in this gives me a tremendously heavy heart. kennedy: they're a great family and a very close family, and, again, there are no words, and it's even more tragic when it hits someone that you know and, of course now we look at some of the signs that the shooter might have displayed, and how do you determine whether or not ptsd played a role in this? >> well, it's going to be rather difficult to some degree, but what law enforcement is going to have to do is go back and talk to his family members, members of his community, people who knew him, look at his health care record. we know that in april, law enforcement were called, health care providers, should i say, and did not take him in at that time. they've got quite a bit of work to do in that area.

jimmy carter was dogged by senator ted kennedy. he lost to ronald reagan that november.years earlier in 1976, president gerald ford faced a tough challenge from ronald reagan and lost to carter. in 1968 lyndon johnson was weakened by the candidacy of eugene mccarthy and dropped out of the race. let's talk about the president and his own party, how does he stand. is this all over? no matter what happens is trump the republican nominee if he chooses so? >> yes. if you see a narrowing in the republican party but they are very excited about him to the point john was making earlier. 90% of republicans are with donald trump. that's not going to change. he's got them. nobody will pull that away from him. the danger to him is independent candidacy that is aimed as a cam okay -- kamikaze mission. >> it's conservative republicans that matter when it comes to this, that's the base. number one, he gave them tax cuts. number two he got them two supreme court justices. number three, mike pence there as his vice president. conservatives are saying for us this president has been fabulou

it was like ted kennedy. you have to know why you want to be president.y you're down there. mattis has been on the hot seat from a lot of people in the national security community who think they're seeing right through this, that this was obviously a stunt, they'll say, this has nothing to do with actual security and secretary mattis should act like a civilian secretary more than a general and if he really doesn't believe that that's what troops should be used for, he should resign. i think a lot of people continually misunderstand how secretary mattis, he's very similar to general kelly in how they feel like look, this is what the president orders, we'll carry out the order and unless there's something illegal we won't do it. we'll make sure the government runs and we're going to tamp things down and he stayed out of the press, he barely commented on it until out of the blue after election day he went down to make this troop call. >> soldiers read the papers, they know what's going on. they have scuttlebutt, the old term for chatting up about things, don

. >> no it makes sense in the era of ted kennedy and john mccain and when orrin hatch would do deals with them. that stuff happened because it is the art of legislating. are you being optimistic like i was earlier -- >> you shamed me a bit. i felt like i had to change tone. >> it's worth it. it's worth it. this is important. this is the way it used to work. it didn't always work, but sometimes there was horse trading is looked as a negative, but it's legislating. >> true. >> where can we come up with -- you give -- go two easy areas -- >> you give some, i'll give some. that means you have to shun the bases. >> right. but that's -- that's maybe what nancy pelosi's dream is. that is not what the democratic base wants right now. >> right. >> they're an energetic base that helped them win the house, doesn't want that. they want an impeached presidentment they want everything to be a -- president. they want everything to be a referendum on him. they want democrats to make him pay. they want the subpoenas, the investigations, they want the oversight. they want all of that. maybe democrats

>> i grew up at a time when ted kennedy was friendly with orrin hatch, when joe biden got along withhe other side of the aisle. today, its become so contentious , so partisan, that again, i have to say that the american public is the loser. we don't want this in washington we want to see something get done. trish: that's for sure. that's for sure, alan. so good to see you. at this time, there are some mixed messages over reports of the trump adminitration struck a deal with mexico's incoming government over asylum seekers at the southern border. we're going to talk about that so don't go anywhere alan dershowitz is back right after this. the question being that if there is movement on what would amount to a major policy overhaul, what would it be? will it be considered? is it a political win for the president? alan dershowitz is back, as well as our panel ed rollins and former seattle here to weigh in as we look ahead on sunday morning futures. trish: and we're back with professor alan dershowitz and i wanted to ask you about this associate of roger stone's, jerome corsey, now gettin

he talks about his childhood, his love of music and his friendship with the late senator ted kennedy. this is about 30 minutes. sen. hatch: a longest-serving

i mean, i know you worked in ted kennedy's office. >> that's where i learned how important it was for us to have robust constituent services. that is the interaction that an every day person has with their elected official. my medicare isn't working out. my visa application for my fiancee is getting blocked, what can you do. really, cutting through that red tape of government bureaucracy, in order to serve our constituents is a huge service that we can have, and it's something we're really looking forward to building out in an innovative way. >> your district includes or is adjacent to the new family headquarters? >> it's adjacent. >> you have been quite outspoken against it. do you think you can put together a political coalition to block it? >> for me, it's not just about me governing top down, the reason i spoke out on this issue to begin with is because organizers and residents of my community were busting down our doors saying, you need to say something about this, because we are threatened with homelessness, with rising rents. we have seen this happen in san francisco and seattl

ted kennedy try to do it to jimmy carter. he failed. carter was less popular than trump is now. thereespect to manchin, has to be some indication that the candidate actually wants to run. i have not heard anything like that from joe manchin. there are other candidates that fit the same profile the caller was talking about that might have more interest. guest: the caller brought up senator manchin. it can be hard to discern a pattern in terms of what house democrats win versus which didn't in red states. montana voted against confirmation and won. heidi heitkamp voted against confirmation and lost. it is really difficult in the aggregate to tell a clerestory about exactly what it -- a clear story about exactly what it is that helped democrats in red states win from a policy perspective. i think it comes down to individual candidates and their connection. host: speaker gingrich on the contract with america in 1994 midterms. [video clip] >> we have issued a contract. the democrats ran marshall's showing us signing -- commercials showing us signing the contract the the president sho

i mean, i know you worked in ted kennedy's office. how are you thinking about setting that part of this operation up? >> yeah, and actually the constituent services was what i did in the late senator kennedy's office. and that's where i really learned how important it was for us to have really robust constituent services because that is the real interaction that an everyday person has with their elected official. they say, hey, my medicare isn't working out. hey, my visa application for my fiance isn't -- is getting blocked. what can you do? and so really, cutting through that red tape of government bureaucracy in order to serve our constituents is a huge service that we can have. and it's something that we're really looking forward to building out in an innovative way. >> your district i think includes or adjacent to the new proposed amazon headquarters, right, in long island city? >> it's adjacent. >> it's adjacent. there will be ripple spill over effects. you've been outspoken against t. do you think you can put together a coalitio

states ally in the fight against communist globally, but liberal pro-refugee advocates like senator ted kennedy emphasized the south oest east asian refugees deserved americans help to alleviate suffering. what happened to these fmgs once they arrived in the united states? how were they resettled? a lot of conversation focuses on admission. but we also need to think about how refugees were resettled. because successful refugee resettlement made policy makers more likely to want to admit more refugees. and refugee admissions and refugee resettlement in this way are very intertwined. in the united states, refugee resettlement is a public/private effort. the government delegates a lot of work to private agencies, called voluntary agencies. interestingly, a lot of these agencies are also religious. 75% of southeast asian refugees who arrived in 1981, which is roughly the midpoint of southeast asian refugees arrivals, were resettled by religious organizations. some of these organizations are ones that are very active and prominent today. lutheran immigration refugee and the united states catholic bi

the most notable was ted kennedy who came over to work for me when they became the party. and hatch-kennedy, kennedy-hatch blossomed into all kinds of important legislation. i worked with so many other democrats to do good work. to get it done they would have to come across and do it the right way. host: why do you call it the lords work? sen. hatch: i do not believe i would be here if it was not for extra help. i believe this is the most important government in the world. the most important country in the world. i believe that this nation was brought about by our father in heaven and that we have an obligation to keep it going. i have no doubt -- i don't see how anybody can have doubt when you look at how the original pilgrims and people during the revolutions and so forth were able to develop this country. year after year after year, all of the problems, civil war, and the other world wars that we have had, we have been able to not only survive but become the world leaders. the world leader. period. that just could not happen without higher help, it seems to me. host: wh

he had allies in the late ted kennedy and john mccain.y resistance or discomfort among any republicans in the senate or the house to these images? >> we haven't seen much response today. we just saw lindsey graham last night immediately responding to the actions taken by the military on the border and customs and border patrol, praising them for their work and saying that people shouldn't be blaming the president for what he's doing because look at what's going on. but as -- >> that's shocking. lindsey graham who was an ally of john mccain's, one of the most vocal advocates for comprehensive immigration reform. >> i think what americans really should be, especially trump supporters, people who, you know, don't quite see the inhumanity that's going on here, who maybe think that 3-year-olds need tear gas, what they should also be seeing is some of these political tactics the president is implementing also hurts americans. closing the san ysidro border, a border that's the most highly trafficked border between the u.s. and mexico is not good

steve scully works for joe biden and ted kennedy. now, that does not disqualify you from doing your job, his job in working with you. but that should be disclosed. ,ost: the hosts of c-span as varied and diverse as we are, we present information and don't do it with bias. i know we come from different kinds of backgrounds. people can analyze that and find that out, to be frank, but we present the information in a straightforward manner. let's go to cassidy in jackson, missouri. republican line. hello. caller: hi, how are you? host: fine, thank you. go ahead. caller: first of all, a man came on earlier who is name was john, he was a veteran and said a lot of things i agree with. i wanted to say thank you to him directly, because he was exactly right with what he said. those veterans out there they fight for our country. it doesn't matter what our parties are individually. they fight for this whole entire country, ok? the party lines works me a little, but i want to say a big thank you to president trump, and a lot of people are probab

not talking about ted kennedy or president bill clinton or, i mean, i only have a couple minutes leftave been -- jake, i have been chair of the democratic party for 18 months. what i'm talking about is we have worked hard to make sure that we are a party that understands that when women succeed, america succeeds. what donald trump is doing -- >> do you think keith ellison's ex-girlfriend is lying then? is that what you're saying. >> i think keith ellison's ex-girlfriend deserves to be heard and deserves to be treated with dignity and deserves a full and fair investigation. that's contactually what has been done. i also believe when women succeed, america succeeds. the agenda of this administration is an agenda making it much harder for women to succeed. one of the reasons why democrats are doing so well is we're fielding candidates across the country. you look at the women running for office and running for office around a platform of health care, around a platform of inclusion, when we have more women in the u.s. senate and the u.s. house, more women in governorships, more women acro

. >> your question reminds me of something ted kennedy said to me once when i was working for him.ebody asks you what wing of the party you're from, tell him you're from the accomplishments wing of the democratic party because you want to get stuff done. when i look at either andrew gillum or kyrstin cinema or any candidate, i mean, gretchen whitmer i think is supposed to win in michigan. these are all good democrats who want to make sure people have access to quality health care. they want to make sure our children's education is -- gives them that ability to punch their ticket to the middle class. as you may recall in arizona, there was a prairie fire because of the republican failure to invest in public education. and i think that common denominator is really, really critical across all of these states. you see it in georgia. you see it in florida, where health care and education are the issues that come up time and time again. people understand climate. it's not simply one wing of the democratic party that understands climate. we all understand climate change is very real. and
